The here and now... and what and why

Complacency is a trap. At least that’s what I was thinking when I up and left the comfort of a Yankee prep school gig, where I taught music, amongst other things, for 28 years. There was also that life long career as a composer, musician and artist.

First, it was a year in St. Thomas, USVI, working as a reporter and shooting photography and then, a year in San Agustin Etla, Oaxaca, Mexico.
Time passed.
More time passed and a year back in the Athens of America followed by a hasty return to Oaxaca where it is all happening.
A couple of years in San Sebastian Etla and now, just down the road in San Pablo Etla. Life is good.

You can find my music on Jango (World & latin - Worldbeat) and at iTunes and most online stores.

The cocks crow, but why at 2:30 AM?

I love the colors on these guys, but I can't figure out why they consistently crow in the wee hours of the morning.  Every. Single. Night.
It doesn't last long, but is surprisingly loud.  Unlike the hens, who merely cluck.
Their early morning activities have a much more positive result.

Those roosters are gorgeous, and the hen's not so bad herself.
As for the crowing, you know Chanticleer/Chantecler, the French rooster of fable, believed it was his crowing that caused the sun to rise. Your guys may be a bit premature at 2:30 AM, but hey, it's working, right? The sun is coming up! On the other hand, maybe they just had to get your attention forcefully enough to get you to put their handsome pictures on your blog.

You're right and I'm so easy. Everything/everyone looking good is what makes Oaxaca a photographer's dream. And yes, the sun did come up, but it's surprisingly cold.... upper 30's at night... F not C.
